Richard Lindzen,
an MIT atmospheric physicist and one of the world's leading
climatologists, summarizes the science behind climate change.

Dr.
Richard Lindzen, among many others, refers to this type
of narrative as hysteria, and argues that climate
scientists raising this issue (global warming) have been demonized.

He's
one of the world's top experts in the field and lead
author of "Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks,"
Chapter 7 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change's Third Assessment Report on climate change.

He
is a dynamical meteorologist with interests in the broad
topics of climate, planetary waves, monsoon meteorology,
planetary atmospheres, and hydrodynamic instability.

His
research involves studies of the role of the tropics in
mid-latitude weather and global heat transport, the
moisture budget and its role in global change, the
origins of ice ages, seasonal effects in atmospheric
transport, stratospheric waves, and the observational
determination of climate sensitivity.

He
has made major contributions to the development of the
current theory for the
Hadley Circulation, and pioneered
the study of how ozone photochemistry, radiative
transfer, and dynamics interact with each other.

He
is also the Emeritus Sloan Professor of Meteorology at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

In many of his lectures, he has pointed out how
policymakers were heavily involved with the
IPCC and
their publications. He is one of many to do so.
